Privacy Policy

Kratom Finder ("we," "our," "us") operates the website kratom-finder.com. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have.

Information we collect

• Usage data: Google Analytics 4 and our own event system measure page views, device category, page performance, and actions such as searching, calling, and opening directions. Our events use the page path and selected event fields; they exclude raw search text, form content, and location coordinates. Referrers are reduced to their origin.
• Location search: with browser permission, coordinates are used within the current tab to calculate approximate distances. We do not place them in the URL, analytics payload, or browser storage. External map services receive the destination when you open directions.
• First-party event identifiers: random identifiers in session storage group activity within a browser tab. Sessions expire after inactivity. We also receive a user-agent string and country code for basic reporting and bot filtering.
• Form submissions on our submit listing form — business name, email, and listing details you provide.
• Public browsing: no account is required. Administrative access uses a protected session cookie.
• No payment information. We do not sell products directly.

Cookies

Google Analytics may use its own cookies. The first-party event system uses session storage. Administrative sign-in uses a secure session cookie. Search preferences may retain a city choice within the tab, but not coordinates or raw search text. Site analytics are disabled when the browser sends Do Not Track. Core directory content remains available without analytics.

Third parties

• Google Analytics — aggregated usage data.
• Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery, and security.
• Supabase — storage for contact and listing submissions, moderated reviews, and first-party events.
• Google Places API — retailer data (business names, addresses, ratings) sourced from Google Maps.
• Affiliate partners — a disclosed referral link may send a referral identifier. The destination site receives its own request information and applies its own privacy policy.
